Garlogs is selected to land the opener with Savile's Delight and Guto nominated to fill the placings. The selection showed good pace to land a similar contest. Up 8lb for that, that may appear harsh but his rivals are all very exposed and he may be able to step up on that victory. Savile's Delight was well beaten last time but ran his usual game race while Guto had a good win over course and distance on his penultimate start. For many of these it depends whether they put their best foot forward and Garlogs is picked to land the opener.
